Would that he could countenance the thought of tackling the stairs at present, that she'd even mentioned the nursery filled him with all sorts of pangs not least a very real, sharp one but that one was his wound. The library was thankfully not upstairs and he could at least appease her on that count.
Charles shut the door and gingerly lead her down a corridor, past a couple doors, and finally stopped at the third. "The nursery isn't much too look yet, but the library is another matter." He would've opened the door at the same time as he spoke but decided not to risk it in case he accidentally made an unmanly noise of pain before he could stop himself. This time he took a few steps further into the room. "There's an extension charm in place should more shelves be needed." He hadn't moved all of his books in yet but there would likely be plenty of empty shelves left once he had - he didn't have a particularly large book collection as of yet but he intended to buy whatever he needed to pad it out properly. "There's a quaint little window seat tucked away in that corner." He was hoping he'd take that as a cue to explore it.
